tillylamp 1,809 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 hi, I used to have a non turbo impreza sport wagon and the engine in this is identical to the forester, mine wasn't to bad on fuel I used to get about 270 miles to a tank of fuel at about £65 to fill it up, the forester you want is the gls model,i think they do a bit more to the gallon, "well my mates did", and also my wagon had the hi/low ratio gearbox the same as the forester, the forester has got better a ground clearance than mine but it didn't stop me going across fields though, over all they are a very good car, good engine, good load space, and reliable with a good buying price. hope this helps, tillylamp 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garethf 1 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I've got a x reg non turbo. Had it for around 6 years now and still going strong. Great for my life style with ferreting and shooting around the fields. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dubba 72 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Got a XT turbo auto that's my daily drive, I thrash the bollox's out of it. Get about 25 mpg driving it like that which I don't thinks to bad, although it is compared to a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy s410c 59 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Been running a 04 XT Forester for 2yrs now & it's a fantastic motor to drive,never flickered mechanically.Usual wear & tear suspects have been replaced,front ball joints & front ARB bushes.Not much difference in fuel usage between the N/A & Turbo...my advice get a Turbo...enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
